The first week of June will see Gillette getting much attention from oil and gas energy producers, suppliers, and merchants. Not only that, a growing energy convention nine years in the making will be transitioning and expanding its scope.

In case you haven’t heard or seen the news, Sen. Enzi made his decision public yesterday. For the past several months, Republican officials have been pondering what Wyoming’ senior senator was going to do this year. The media has been prying to end to get some kind of idea what to write about. Granted, Sen.

I’m here to tell you, it’s OK; calm down; we’re gonna be alright.

I had a phone call from Annaliese today. She tried to send me some stuff and my e-mail account, for whatever crazy reason, decided to bounce it. I have since reprimanded my e-mail account (all known and possible lummis2008.com addresses are now “safe”).

My fellow Wyomingites, this year we face an important and historic election cycle in this state.
